“The closer you stand to the lighthouse, the darker it gets.” Japanese proverb
“You can develop the right attitude toward others if you have kindness, love and respect for them, and a clear realization of the oneness of all human beings.” Dalai Lama
Overheard at the work place.
Troublemaker #1: “Watch I’m going to give this to Michele and she will refuse to post it.” She walks to my cube. “(Bosses name) said it was okay for us to post this to small balance.” Me:” Okay just put it in the Adjustments tray.” TM#1 walks back to her cube fuming. Coworker friends 1 & 2: snicker.
Troublemaker #2 at work trying to say it is my posting responsible for Medicare not posting right claiming you need to do all of these extra keystrokes to trick the system into posting correctly. Boss: “If she has to do even one extra keystroke the system is at fault.” Troublemaker #2 walks back to her cube fuming.
Friend #3 asks me to go out to dinner with them that evening. I usually don’t go out after work but decided it has been a rough couple weeks and going out for pasta with friends sounded like a good idea so I said yes.
Friend #3 to Friend #4: all excited “I got Michele to go out to dinner with us.” Friend #4: “Yeah.”
After dinner as we were leaving friend #1 says:” Michele thank you so much for coming out to dinner with us.”
It was a good day at work yesterday.
